NoBasicSomehow, TikTok is sending me notifications even though I don't have the app. And in order to disable them I have to install it.
You have allowed tick-tock website to send you notifications I guess. If so, you can clear this permission in your browser settings.
EeeDawg101Website based notifications are the most idiotic, stupid, abusive thing ever in the current internet scene.
I work in IT and they cause so many issues. I 100% blame google and anyone else that added this feature to their browser.
What’s the issue? Are people just randomly accepting notification permission requests all the time? 😲
GamerBoy705It’s the same mentality as people just pressing “Next” in an installer and wonder why their browser homepage is hijacked or why there are programs that they never installed. People see the “Block” or “Accept” options in the notifications dialog and press Accept without even reading, especially on mobile browsers (Chrome) where it asks you as if it’s a system message.
It’s tough for me to accept that these poor people still exist haha. I remember back in 2005 or so clearing upwards of 5 toolbars from various relatives’ browsers, but not so much since. I suppose notification management is the modern equivalent.
These people will never go away. The people have 16 push messages an hour, are the same people who had 7 IE toolbars, are the same people who had their VCR blinking 12:00, are the same people who couldn’t get the channel on their radio, are the same people who (presumably) kept buying snakeoil potions.
These are the people who would rather be annoyed at something than fix it, they’re the people who will spend hours living with problems rather than spend 1 hour learning how to resolve it.
Some even take pride in how little they know.
They sure are and when you ask them about it, they never remember allowing it.
Chrome makes it REEEEEALLY easy to accept these permissions now. I run into it a TON helping folks at my job.
